- salt and pepper

- Add the sardines to a bowl along with the lemon juice, parsley and cream cheese (drain away any liquid from the cream cheese). Add some pepper - you can decide whether to add any extra salt at the end.80 g cream cheese, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, salt and pepper
- Either mash the pate with a fork, or blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Notes
If you don't have cream cheese, you could use fromage frais or a thick natural yogurt. The flavour will be a little more tangy.
You can also use fresh dill, chives or a little chopped spring onion instead of parsley.
Add in a teaspoon of horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard for extra tang. You can also add a few chopped capers or gherkins.
